Ambition Over Adversity

"Ambition Over Adversity" is a poem written by the late Tupac Shakur.  It reads:

Take one's adversity

Learn from their misfortune

Learn from their pain

Believe in something

Believe in yourself

Turn adversity into ambition

Now blossom into wealth

In our homerooms, we are hoping to remediate our students to prepare them for the English 2 state exam. In efforts of engaging the students with literature and poetry, I had them copy this poem and reflect on it.  Here is what one student wrote:

It's inspire me to write

The world could be mines

Ambition of a Rider

Thug life

Make me believe I can be perfect
